What Our Members Are Saying about the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2008 Toyota 4Runner

2008 Toyota 4Runner Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
not enough leg room see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
This is a vehicle designed for people 5 fett 11 inches and under - no two ways about it. If you are 5 feel 11 or over you will not enjoy this truck. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
The consequence of reducing overall height while maintaining trail worthy obstacle clearance is a relatively low to floor seating position more attune to sedans. Seats are comfortable though even for a big framed person. see full Toyota 4Runner review
2007 4dr SUV 236-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Seat position low to floor leaves you sitting with a knee high position. Seats itself are comfortable, but there is no space for your feet under the front seats. All floor surfaces are almost flat though considering it truck roots. see full Toyota 4Runner review

5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range
Not a power seat. Cannot get it into an optimum adjustment. see full Toyota 4Runner review

2008 Chevrolet Equinox Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2008 4dr SUV 264-horsepower 3.6L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
The rear seat can slide forward and back 8" providing generous leg room for rear passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
The bucket seats are at a perfect height for easy entry and exit. Also there is a liftable arm rest between the seats for storing purse, etc. which eliminates the need for reaching to the back when the passenger seat is occupied. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6
5-speed automatic FWD
Ample leg and hip room. I am only 5foot 4 inches but have a wide posterior. Seat is comfortable for me. My son is 6 foot 3 inches and medium build. He has ample leg and body room. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
2008 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 3.4L V6

The rear bench seat can slide forward or back. When slid back, there is ample leg room for even the tallest of passengers. see full Chevrolet Equinox review
